Kanye West now has a foothold in the Wild West.
The hip-hop mogul and fashion designer has snagged a massive Wyoming property that was last on the market for $14 million, TMZ reports. It’s not clear how much West shelled out for the parcel — a massive 9,000-acre spread called Monster Lake Ranch because its two freshwater lakes are home to “monster trout” — but TMZ notes he didn’t pay full price.

Located outside the town of Cody (population 10,000), the ranch has eight lodging units, a restaurant, an event center and a space for meetings. There are also barns and corrals for horses.
